I joined !privacy@lemmy.ml and now I use GrapheneOS (instead of Android), Fedora (instead of Windows), Firefox (instead of chrome), Mullvad VPN, jmp.chat (instead of google voice), and Kagi (instead of google search).

It's a rabbit hole.

Although Fedora was mostly because an update to windows 11 completely broke it and I didn't feel like trying to fix windows so I just wiped my laptop and installed Fedora.

I left Spotify because of that and the pop up ads every time I opened the app. All I want is to pay for a library of music that I can download and play.

You might need to calibrate the compass in your phone

Southeast Europe probably had lions at one time (source). I'm not sure what's up with the north though.

What if we're all just playing on hard mode and have to start over with a new character when we die?

If small phones were still a thing I could see myself getting a 7 or 8" tablet again (RIP Nexus 7) but with 6+" screens being the norm there's no point.

I do love my kobo libre 2 for reading but also wish it was smaller.

I usually find out about them when someone posts to !newcommunities@lemmy.world

They get to create useful things unlike a lot of white collar jobs

In the US fanta is just fake orange flavor and corn syrup though.
